I'm planning on choosing BSc Forensics as my premed in Canada. Do you think there's any scope for it there in case I don't get into med school? Will a Masters in Forensics help me land a stable job with a stable income?

Hi. My college career has been quite insane, in my opinion but I am finally able to take premed courses but the problem is that I am a senior. So, I am thinking of delaying my graduation by a year in order to complete the necessary premed courses because I can have financial aid and grants. My...

Hi all! I'm currently a Registered Nurse turned Post-bacc Pre-med student. Due to the circumstances of this semester (finals were cancelled due to Corona Virus outbreak on campus), I was wondering about the risks of having a class reported as pass/fail on my transcript. We were given the option...

I was in an extremely problematic situation for my first two years of college and didn’t do too well... being young and stupid, maybe just generally stupid, I didn’t stop to think how it would affect my future to keep taking classes and giving up mid way through because of the situation. I have...

Greetings everyone, I am about to start taking the necessary pre-med sciences (BIO I/II, Gen Chem I/II, Orgo Chem I/II & Physics I/II) at a local university and was interested in finding out what would be the best order in which to take them based on your experiences. I have decent flexibility...

Hi again! I was wondering how do top tier schools view undergrads taking courses such as english, calculus, and history at community colleges or during the summer?

So I am currently a sophomore who transferred to another university. A lot of my credits didn’t transfer/I didn’t do well in a couple of classes so I’m in as a true “first year” for this year. So, I’m in my second year of college but I’m actually a first year at this point because of credit...

I am currently entering my sophomore year in college as a Electrical and Computer Engineering major. I love my major and school, I have an academic scholarship that covers my 4 years, I have a 3.7 GPA, but I don't see any bio courses and barely any chem. I am not sure what all the requirements...

So I am currently in my junior year of undergrad and have come to the realization that my GPA probably won't be very competitive when I graduate (3.25 cgpa and 3.0 sgpa), particularly for MD schools. I'm not biased towards MD or DO and plan to apply to schools that fall under both categories. I...

Hey everyone, this is my first post on SDN so I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this. I'm currently a pre-med freshman and am about to register for next year classes. I need to take foreign language classes to a certain level and am unsure of what to do. I have taken 5 years of...

Hey guys, Quick question regarding double majoring vs majoring. Currently I am getting a degree in chemistry and am potentially interested in getting a double major in biology. This would make me take 6/7 more classes and would put a lot more stress on my schedule, whereas with just the...

Hey guys, I found out about Logan University in Missouri. They have a Bachelors in Health Sciences in Biology. The program is accelerated and they have all the sciences courses needed to get into Med-School. I am novice to applying at Pre-Med programs, can anyone tell me more about their program...

(current junior) Unfortunately most of my math science courses were during my first 1.5 years of college when I had a parathyroid tumor (increases calcium and hormones in the body and impairs cognitive abilities, not to mention physical tiredness)which affected my ability to study, exhausted all...

Hello, I am a second year (3rd semester) undergrad student and I have taken most of my pre-med prereqs but have not been doing well. C in bio, C in Orgo 1 and 2 other C- which I am retaking. My cumulative GPA as of right now standing just above a 3.0. The classes I have left to take are Orgo...

Hi everyone! I go to a small private school in Pittsburgh and unfortunately they only offer Biochem 1 in the Fall and Biochem 2 in the Spring. Since I have very little background in Biochem I would like to take a Biochem class before taking the MCAT. Do you guys think this is a good idea, or...

Hi there, I am a high school student looking for colleges that have a good premed pathway in the middle east, mainly because I plan on transferring back to the states after a year or two of college and complete my studies there. My estimated end GPA of high school is around a 3.8-3.9 and my...

Hi All- looking for some feedback on my situation. I'm 28 and started premed about a year ago. I'm Married with two kids and work part-time as a cardiology practice manager/clinical assistant. I'm dead set on med school (preferably DO) but am worried that my slow pace of 2 courses a semester...

Hello everyone, I am gonna be a junior this fall and I wanna make sure that I am taking all the courses that I need to do well on the MCAT and in med school as well. Do you guys think I should stick with this plan or minor in gerontology (or philosophy) instead of taking immuno,histo, and A&P...

I am transferring from my current university, which is a public state university, to a private university for my sophomore year of undergraduate career. I went to a dual-credit high school program and have over 70 college credits (including many pre-med courses) completed from my high school...

Hi guys, I am an English Pre-Med...and I am currently taking Gen Chem 1. Idk how I'll do (not so well but I'm determined to do better), but I feel the urge to retake the class with a different professor just to learn more in depth about the topic. Of course I would do better the second time...

Hello Student Doctor Network, This is my first post. Currently, I am a freshman at a local CC. I plan to stay at my CC to finish all my medical prereq's while pursuing a major in English/Literature. Then, transfer to a 4-year institute where I will take biochemistry, and The Organic Sequences...

Do MD schools look down on people with ADD? I had a rough freshman year and I have had a very strong upward GPA due to getting ADD treatment. I was going to mention this in my PS, but a Doctor I work with told me it will make me look weak. He said that a lot of MD's don't see ADD as a legitimate...

Hi cool forum people, This is my first post and first of all thank you so much for all the amazing information that has been gathered at this forum. It has been helping me a lot. So my situation is the following: This is my first year attending education in the U.S. even though I am a U.S...

Up until the 1st quarter of my junior year I was studying chemical engineering. I realized as soon as began taking my first engineering course that I did not want to continue with ChemE. I always considered the possibility of going to med school, but it wasn't until I shadowed a doctor during...

Hi! This is my first post and I apologize if I am in the wrong place. I am about to begin my second semester of my first year of college. As of now I am taking traditional pre-med classes. I do well, and I enjoy my science courses a lot, but it takes me so much longer to learn the material than...

I am aiming to take the MCAT this June. The problem is I won’t have enough time to knock out the rest of my pre-med classes which includes: Physics II, Biochemistry (aced OChem I and got 104% in OChem II class under a UT Austin prof), and the Biologies (somehow I skipped bio’s and went...
